CORBA 2.3.3 Getting Started Guide (NonStop CORBA 2.3.7+)

Also noteworthy, NonStop CORBA is language-compliant and object-adapter compliant with the OMG's
CORBA ORB portability specification, which enhances the interoperability of the components you write
using NonStop CORBA.
Writing client and server objects compliant with CORBA 2.3 offers the following benefits:
Interoperation with other CORBA-compliant ORBs●
Wide area network (WAN) and local area (LAN) network connectivity based on international
networking standards
●
Ability to wrap legacy applications with a distributed object architecture (an advantage of NonStop
CORBA)
●
Features of NonStop CORBA
By implementing certain system-specific processes using TS/MP server classes or server pools (the
preferred terminology), the ORB provided with NonStop CORBA offers availability and scalability
advantages over other CORBA-compliant ORBs. TS/MP runtime code resides in every ORB running
NonStop CORBA and can also be included in your NonStop CORBA application servers.
The NonStop CORBA ORB runs on HP NonStop systems. The NonStop CORBA application servers
that you write in C++ or Java use this ORB for communication to and from remote clients. The major
features differentiating the ORB supplied with NonStop CORBA from other ORBs are:
Scalability of the ORB to support higher throughput●
Scalability of application server processes across CPUs●
Compatibility of NonStop CORBA components●
Availability and fault tolerance●
Transaction protection for data stores managed by the NonStop TM/MP and database software●
Network session concentration to reduce the number of IP ports needed in the host●
Advantages of the Pathway environment●
Scalability of the Object Request Broker (ORB)
With NonStop CORBA, you can increase the ORB capacity without disturbing running applications.
NonStop CORBA provides several ways of scaling the ORB itself:
Scalability of the ORB to support higher throughput New clients can connect to the NonStop
CORBA ORB with no configuration changes required on the client workstation or on the HP
server.
